When I first got my Fitbit One, I wasn’t sure how it would it would fit into my life. I was more interested in the sleep tracking, but in the five years since that original purchase (and one replacement unit later) it because a regular, daily part of my carry. Silent alarms and steps and stairs tracking were great, but I’ve taken to re-evaluating things, and it’s time for me to say so long to this formerly trusty piece of tech.

They let me know how hard I’m working in a run or weight training session, and can capture all sorts of metrics. At the gym, I’ve been partial to Polar devices (and we’ve got a review of their latest in the works), but what I’ve got with me day in and day out, is a trusty Fitbit One. I like that it can slip into my pocket (since I’ve already got a regular watch on my wrist) and track my activity, and wake me up silently in the morning. So, every new release from Fitbit is something I watch with interest, and they just announced a trio of new goodies.
